Once installed, the adapter is able to load DOS from server. This is useful for using the adapter in a diskless workstation. Two types of Boot ROMs available. They are as follows: 1. Ethernet Remote Reset Boot ROM (IPX Boot ROM) - Supports the NetWare IPX workstation 2. Generic Boot ROM (RPL Boot ROM) - Supports NetWare 3.x, 4.x and Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x A: Using the Ethernet Remote Boot ROM (IPX Boot ROM) ===================================================== The Ethernet Remote Reset Boot ROM is for NetWare applications. 1. Generate a DOS Image To allow remote booting, you should first generate a DOS image. See the corresponding section in your NetWare manuals for detailed procedure. 2. Run RPLFIX.COM This program is provided and developed by Novell to fix the bug that causes boot failure when using MS-DOS 5.0 or DR DOS 6.0 or their later versions. Users of MS-DOS 5.0 or DR DOS 6.0 MUST run this program after generating the DOS image. Failure to do so will result in boot failure. 3. Auto-detect adapter configuration Once you power on the host PC, the Boot ROM will automatically detect the configuration of the network adapter installed. The parameters detected will vary according to the type of network adapter. Corresponding values will be shown on screen. See Figures 1 and 2 for sample screen displays. For related information, see section on "List of Adapter Parameters Automatically Detected by the Boot ROM". 4. Follow screen instructions to select the appropriate Ethernet_Type if necessary. See section on Ethernet Type Selection for more information. Note: The program automatically detects the adapter's parameter settings, including Frame type, RAM Test, RAM Size, IRQ value, I/O base address, data width, Ethernet-ID. Ethernet Type Selection ----------------------- The Boot ROM device is compatible with both Ethernet_II and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet. 1. Upon power on the program automatically detects the adapter's configuration, and will display it on the screen. 2. When prompted to select a "frame type" choose an appropriate one for your adapter if necessary. For example, pressing "1" selects "Ethernet_II," while pressing "2" selects "802.3" Additional RPLODI.COM _____________________ When you are building the DOS Image file, note that the logging in sequence is different from booting from disk for IPX Boot ROM. Run RPLODI after LSL.COM is loaded. The following procedures are the same. They may be MPX2PNP, IPXODI and NETX. For Generic Boot ROM, the booting sequences are the same. B: Using the Generic Boot ROM (RPL Boot ROM) ============================================= Accton's Generic Boot ROM can be used with the following programs: * NetWare v3.x or later * Microsoft's LAN Manager 2.1 or later Each platform has its own software installation and setup routine. The diskette that comes with the ROM kit has drivers for the different network environments. Generic Boot ROM Installation for NetWare v3.x ---------------------------------------------- 1. Install the NetWare Server RPL software. 2. Prepare a blank diskette for the remote reset image. 3. Create the server image boot file. 4. Boot your workstation. Installing the NetWare Server RPL Software ------------------------------------------ a. "Load" a server LAN driver and be sure to specify the frame type that your workstation is going to use. b. "Bind" IPX to each of the different frame types (ETHERNET_802.2, ETHERNET_802.3, ETHERNET_II, ETHERNET_SNAP) that you require. c. "Load" RPL.NLM d. "Bind" RPL to the LAN driver and appropriate frame type (ETHERNET_802.2) Preparing a blank diskette for the remote boot image ---------------------------------------------------- a. Label a blank diskette "Remote Image" b. From your root directory, type format a: /s c. Files needed on the remote image include the following: * For an IPX workstation, you will need the IPX.COM (generated using Accton's driver or NE2000), and the NETX.COM files * For the DOS ODI workstation with NetWare v3.x: LSL.COM MPX2PNP.COM (or NE2000.COM) IPXODI.COM NETX.COM (or EMSNETX.EXE) NET.CFG * For the DOSODI workstation with NetWare v4.x: LSL.COM MPX2PNP.COM (or NE2000.COM) IPXODI.COM VLM.COM NET.CFG * Other files necessary are: AUTOEXEC.BAT (user defined) CONFIG.SYS (user defined) and other file you may deem necessary All NetWare VLM files for workstation NET.CFG Creating the server image boot file ----------------------------------- Refer to the sections entitled "Customizing Remote Boot Files" and "Creating the BOOTCONF.SYS Boot Files" in your NetWare documentation for details. A brief procedure follows: 1. Log onto the network as "supervisor" for the NetWare v3.x server; or as "admin" for the NetWare v4.x server. 2. Map to your network server. Type: MAP F:=SYS:LOGIN 3. Insert the Remote Reset Image diskette in the drive A of the workstation. 4. Change to F: and type: CD\LOGIN 5. Using DOSGEN create the file "NET$DOS.SYS": F:\SYSTEM\DOSGEN 6. Flag the NET$DOS.SYS as sharable and run RPLFIX if you're using MS-DOS 5.0 or the later versions. --------------------------- END -------------------------------------------- Ethernet Remote Boot Rom for Lan Manager operation System ========================================================= Remote Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1 -------------------------------------------- Remote Boot installation on LAN Manager 2.1 may be complex. Also, be aware that the Accton Generic Boot ROM does not provide remote boot capability on a Microsoft OS/2 system. There are two ways to install the remote boot software on the LAN Manager server. You can either use Accton's configuration utility (on the Accton Driver diskette or download it from Accton's BBS), or edit the RPL files manually. Generic Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1 Using Accton's Configuration Utility ---------------------------------------------- 1. Refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide Chapter 13: Booting Workstations Remotely for more detailed information. Follow the steps to setup the remote boot environment, but do not use the RPLMGR.EXE program to create the remote boot profile. 2. Select an OS/2 full screen, and change to the RPL subdirectory. For example, C:\LANMAN\RPL 3. Copy the RPLCFG.CMD, RPL.ACC, RPLMGR.ACC and the ETHNE.DOS from the \RPL\LANMAN subdirectory of the Accton Driver diskette, or from Accton's BBS to C:\LANMAN\RPL. 4. Run RPLCFG to install the remote boot software. 5. Refer to the Chapter 13 of LAN Manager Administrator's Guide. Follow the steps in "Managing Remote Boot".

List Of Files You Need ---------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ Filename Description ------------------------------------------------------ LSL.COM This file implements the Link Support Layer for DOS ODI workstations and is the program that is generally loaded first when booting. The Link Support Layer file enables the workstation to communicate over several protocols. IPXODI.COM This is Novell's protocol stack for DOS ODI workstations. It performs the same functions as the IPX.COM, which is used for DOS workstations. However it is optional and is loaded after the LAN driver. Other protocols can be loaded in its place or with it. This is one of the key features of the ODI environment.

NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare v3.11) ====================================================== This section describes the procedure to install the NetWare v3.11 server driver for your adapter. Requirement: ------------ * Accton Driver Diskette (ACCTON.LAN is your server driver) Installation Procedure: ----------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare 386 v3.11 server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your workstation. 1. Copy the ACCTON.LAN file from the Accton Driver Diskette into the NetWare 386 subdirectory of your server. 2. Run SERVER.EXE from your server. You will see a series of NetWare messages onscreen. 3. When the NetWare 386 prompt appears (indicated by a colon), load your server driver. Simply type: : LOAD [d:]ACCTON <Enter> (Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name>) 4. Follow the instructions to select the appropriate adapter configuration, i.e. io_port, memory address, memory length, interrupt. Allowable values for these parameters will also be shown on-screen. When you load the driver program, your screen will display the following messages : Loading module ACCTON.LAN Supported I/O port values are : 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 3a0, 3c0, 3e0, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 2a0, 2c0, 2e0. I/O port : 300 (Enter appropriate I/O port and press <Enter>) 5. Bind IPX to the Accton LAN driver. At the NetWare server prompt, type: :BIND IPX ACCTON <Enter> 6. After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for the Network Number. For details on how to assign this number, please consult your NetWare 386 Installation Manual. If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages. The LAN driver installation is completed when you see the following message onscreen: IPX LAN Protocol bound to Accton MPX Driver vx.xxRxx (yymmdd). B). NetWare ODI Server Driver Installation (NetWare 3.12 or 4.x) ============================================================ Requirements: ------------- Accton Driver Diskette (ACC41.LAN) Installation Procedure: ----------------------- 1. Insert the Accton Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\ODI\4.x It should contain the following file : ACC41.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.x Server Driver ACC41.LDIÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.x Server Driver Installation Information File 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter> 3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>. 4. Select "LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...)" and press <Enter>. 5. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install. 6. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\ODI\4.x) and press <Enter>. 7. The ACC41.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the 'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 8. Next time you start up your system, simply follow steps 2 to 4 to complete the installation. Installation notes: ------------------- 1. If user load server driver by manual. a) At the NetWare prompt (indicated by a colon), run the driver program, type the following line if using one adapter: :LOAD [c:]ACC41 <Enter> (Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]<Driver Name>) or type the following line if using more adapters are used: :LOAD [c:]ACC41 BOARD=board# Frame=frame_type where board# starts 0 to 4, because number of adapters supported is 4 (You can reference the 4.x\autoexec.ncf example included in the floppy) b) Bind IPX with LAN driver, at the Netware server prompt, type : :BIND IPX ACC41 <Enter> After pressing <Enter> the computer prompts you for the Network Number. For details on how to assign this number, please consult your NetWare 386 Installation Manual. 2. The architecture of Netware 4.x driver is different from that of V3.11. You should load MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM modules separately before loading ACC41.LAN. When loading ACC41.LAN, it will check whether these two modules have been loaded, if not, it will load them automatically. So after ACC41.LAN is loaded, if you type ' MODULES' command under prompt, you will see that two extra modules, namely, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM are also loaded. 3. The default frame type for the ACC41.LAN binding is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between V3.11 and V4.x drivers. The ACC41.LAN also supports the NetWare V3.11 environment. However, it requires loading of some patch NLMs before loading it. Under this circumstance, there are some unpredictable faults. So we do not suggest this solution. 4. Remember to specify LASTDRIVE=Z in the CONFIG.SYS file. 5. Edit the NET.CFG if you want to change some parameters. For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and wants to log into a NetWare v4.x server. The default frame type of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.x is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.x, make sure there is a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's site. This is normally included in the [MLID] section. A sample NET.CFG file is given below: LINK DRIVER MPX2PNP INT 5 PORT 320 : : List of Error Messages ---------------------- Error message: "The board cannot be found." Possible cause: The adapter does not exist or driver does not recognize the adapter. Solution: Plug Accton adapter into your PC bus slot. Error message: "Board RAM failed the memory test." Possible cause: The RAM buffer on the adapter failed. Solution: Change a new adapter to run driver again. Error message: "The board did not respond to the initialization command." Possible cause: The driver recognized the adapter but the adapter fail to respond. Solution: Change a new adapter to run driver again. Error message: "Adapter current mode is not supported or card not found." Possible cause: The current adapter mode is not supported such as NE1000 mode. Solution: Run 1Step.exe reset adapter to NE2000. Error message: "There is no cable connecting to adapter." Possible cause: There is no cable connecting to adapter or the transceiver within adapter is failed.

The following describes its command syntax and use. NWPD Command Syntax ------------------- NWPD [-d] [-n] [-w] [-u] [-h] <PD_INT_NO> [IRQ] [IO_BASE] where: [-d] The "-d" option does not start the Ethernet adapter until this packet driver is called first by higher layer programs [-n] The Novell server uses NOVELL ISO-like packet, while the Novell workstation uses the NOVELL 8137 packets. Use this option to convert NOVELL 8137 into NOVELL ISO-like packets, if necessary. [-w] Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under Windows. This is not to be considered as the proper solution, which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows. This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch. [-u] This option unloads the Packet Driver. [-h] This option displays the on-line help. <PD_INT_NO> This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80. The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet driver there!) [IRQ] This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) [IO_BASE] This specifies the I/O address. Example 1 --------- Using Accton's EN166x adapter, the following command line loads the Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h, at I/O address 300 and hardware interrupt 3. NWPD 0x60 3 0x300 Since the default I/O address for this adapter is 300 and the default IRQ is 3, the above command may be simplified to: NWPD 0x60 Note ---- Address parameters, such as the software interrupt and I/O address are preceded by "0x". For example, "0x60" and "0x300". -- THE END -- .TOPIC: PC/TCP PACKET DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR FTP PC/TCP ========================================= NWPD.COM is Accton's packet driver which can support FTP PC/TCP.
